St Martin’s By The Bay Board Meeting June 9, 2007 Meeting was called to order by Oliver Walsh. and Mrs. Cvorapinski, Joyce Timmons, Joleen and Bill Killinger, Nancy and Willard Wright, Craig Costantino. Minutes were read and approved. Meeting was then turned over to Mark Joines from Sharp Water. Mark was invited to the meeting to discuss the issues with the water system. He said because the equipment has aged it is hard to obtain parts for replacement. The gears for the filtering system are plastic making them sensitive and very hard to keep in operating condition. These gears have been replaced three times in the last three months. So, the filtering system is fine, but the gears are the problem. Offered are two options to correct the system. Option 1: To replace valve and mechanical parts for $9700.00. Option 2: replace entire system (that Mark does not think is necessary) $17,250.. The time to complete job would be about one week. Mark said no underground leaks have been found and that our system meets the goals required by the State. Normal daily usage has increased from 10,000 gal per day to an average of 15,000. The State wants our permit renewed. Craig Costantino made a motion for a bid from Mark for option 1 and was 2nd by Ollie. One third of the system is inoperative now and the cost of the part is three times $250. plus labor to get in full operation. Mike made Mark aware of the difficulty of understanding the monthly billing and the accuracy of the delivery count. Ollie counseled all present that constant complaining to MDE, and other State and local agencies by members of our community only puts us on their Radar screen. In addition, should public water and sewer ever come this will result in substantial cost increases to all homes. It also needs to be stated that our water usage at this time of year far exceeds the demands made during the winter months and this statement has just been supported by Mark. We will consider exploring the cost of meters being installed in all homes. We naturally would not wish to do this; however it may become necessary. It must, also, be stated that if public water and sewer does come in then we would have individual meters anyway. Treasurer’s report: General A/C balance $21,748.. Outstanding is the $39,000. to attorney King Burnett. Mike and Ollie then disclosed the accounts that have been found at Calvin B. Taylor Bank and where these monies came from: $500. was charged to each original lot Buyer for up-keep of water system and the letter of credit is in the control of the County. The Board is in the process of getting these accounts turned over to St Martin’s By The Bay. Mike then did an up-date on the pool saying that it is open, that he has volunteered to help John and that the pool account shows a savings of $700.. Lawn care shows a saving of $1200. to date. Trash shows a saving of $1200.. Budget was approved. Big THANK YOU to Mike and John. Enclosed is note (re: water) from unknown person. The motion to include this on web site was made by Ollie and 2nd by Craig. Joyce made motion to change lock on pump house and was 2nd by Ollie. Next meeting: First Saturday in July @ Ollie’s.
